Hi Michael
Yes, there is a difference.
250k audio for the volume controls, 1 meg linear for the tone controls, not sure about the blend control, but I think it's also 250k audio...Jerry

Hi Michael
With a 1 meg linear tone pot, the change from very bassy tone to treble tone is very rapid, with a small rotation of the control. With an audio taper pot, the change would be more gradual...Jerry

Important info if you want to do some "boo-wah" action with the tone knob.
